South
 
African
  mammal of the
civet
  family, ranging from Cape
Colony

long
 , and the tail half as much; the fur is
long
  and soft, light grizzled
grey
  in colour, and banded with black on the
lower
 
part
  of the back. Meerkats are sociable animals, living in holes in the rocks on the mountains, and burrowing in the sandy soil of the plains. They form amusing pets, and in a wild state, writes Mrs A. Martin, they feed chiefly on " succulent bulbs, which they scratch up with the long, curved, black claws on their fore-feet. They are devoted sun-worshippers and in the early morning, before it is daylight, they emerge from their burrows and wait in rows till their divinity appears, when they bask joyfully in his beams."
